3 Common Mistakes You Do To Destroy Your Hair

Having healthy hair can boost your confidence exponentially however how much confidence you have in your ability to actually keep your hair healthy also counts a lot. We seem to know a lot about how to handle ourselves and but still fail to put them to work for our desired results. 

Let's go through some common mistakes we should avoid in maintaining a healthy hair 

Keeping your hair pulled too tight, too often will cause breakage, especially if your hair is highlighted. A lot of times you can see the breakage in the crown area. Too much traction from severe pulling can even damage your hair at the follicle, causing a type of gradual hair loss called traction alopecia. Eventually, the hair loss can even become permanent.

Another mistake we often do is to spend so much time and money at the salon, but then not willing to invest in quality products to keep up our hair at home. There are a lot of drugstore hair care products that are cheaper because they have cheaper ingredients that can often be harsher on your hair. There are people who are always shocked by how much of a difference stylist-recommended products make versus just whatever happened to be on sale. There are so many product options because there are so many different hair types and environmental factors that can affect our hair.

Last but not least, another thing we do is, brushing our wet hair harshly. Our hair is very fragile when it’s wet and easily tears out. If you do not want to break your hair, it best to avoid brushing it after a shower. If you need to de-tangle, always brush your hair before the shower when your hair is dry. Then when it’s wet, use a wide-tooth comb or a brush specifically designed for dealing with wet hair.
